It truly is amazing how some of you decide to blow your money. Kershaw was the +EV move. Everything else was just getting too cute.

Hammels blows
Cards facing elimination so 1st sign of trouble you knew there’d be a hook
Matz, you really gonna trust him in a clincher vs the games best?

Dance with who brung ya and live with the results. Everything else is crap shooting

My only saving grace is I have clayton and matz in every lineup. Just don’t have the hitters. hope they have 1-0 game.

haha soler of course pops out in big spot.

I have a line up with baez, piscotty with kershaw,d’Arnaud,Gonzolez,Turner, Ruggiano

Sitting at 55 now any changes you guys suggest or just rip with it

no bryant..thanks carp

every damn guy I have strike’s out. I have like no points from hitters.

How is that catcher indifference for castro in a 2 run game knowing they want to keep the double play in order if possible.

If its a tournament I think it is fine. If it’s a cash game I’m not so into ruggianos downgraded batting position and likelihood to get pinch hit for the moment he faces a righty. I’m pretty big on puig as a fairly cheap outfielder fot the Dodgers. I think he’s a bit less likely to get pinch hit for than ruggiano

Kershaw is getting too cute. Not gonna last long at this rate

Puig please bat and hit a dinger

Puig please bat and hit a dinger

Put four names in a hat, pull one out and that’s your pitcher for Wednesday ?

I just did that pulled out Stroman and Cueto, but I think I may draw again.

I was dumbfounded to see kershaw at around 58 percent ownership in double up games on fd. What’s even crazier is people picking hitters against him

Winning LU monday night had Wacha with a Cubs stack. Options on 2 game slates are obviously limited.

Winning what. Every tournament I was in had kershaw lineups at the top.

Think I’m just going to throw in a prayer, fade the Blue Jays, and hope Cole Hamels is on his game today

He said Monday.

He said Monday.

Haha. My cash games are Stroman then I made two flier lineups for tournaments with McHugh and Hamels, so Cueto will probably be the best choice.

Why not hedge a little since it is a two game slate? Have Hamels + a couple Toronto bats? Are you talking about a cash or GPP LU?

Hamels is likely the only guy who has a considerable leash and will have a chance to work out of jams. Everyone else is subject to a quick hook.

I’m probably dead wrong here but it seems like all the starters have pretty bad match ups. On two pitcher sites are they’re any long relief options for today. For example David price coming in for dickey game four. I can see any of these guys getting yanked early in a must win game.

There not they’re. I don’t want to annoy the grammar police.

Exactly what I did^^
